Chocolate Hummus
This ultra-rich and creamy chocolate hummus is made with black beans, unsweetened cocoa powder, nut butter, and just a little maple syrup. It is a delicious, lower-sugar alternative to traditional chocolate spreads and is perfect on toast, crispbread, fruit, pancakes, or straight from the spoon.

- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Notes
*or use chickpeas
You need enough milk to get the blender going. These ratios worked well for me, but just in case your peanut butter is very thick, you might have to add a splash or so more milk. Don’t worry if it seems a little runny–it will thicken in the fridge!
